The ease will probably go to the jury on Tuesday. The friends of Judge Garvin, district Attorney, have been anxious to exclude Davis and have Garvin sum up alone. Davis stated to a friend that' his self-respect would not allow him to remain longer where there was so much ill-feoling, and he would explain the whole particulars as soon as the case is ever. His retirement elates the friends of the prisoner, and increases their cuufidrnce of acquittal. MRS. M'FARLAXD TO H1CR u DA.RI.ISQ llUS-BiKD."Before the defense closed their case, the annexed letter from Mrs. McFarland to her husband, was read, as a reply to Mo-Farland's lettertread by the prosecution. This epistle shows the state of the woman's feelings before she "fell in with the . Tribune free lovers," as they , are styled: "Maschistir, November 21, 1359. "Mr Darling Hdsband : I received your letter of yesterday, to-day ; why is it that I get your letters so soon and you are so long getting mine; I cannot account for it j I am very particular about mailing them and yet they are to long reaching you.

I shall doubtless be delighted, and shall write soon to tell you my impression. I feel quite worried about your cold.' I have, every time you write me, although it is qnite common for these obstinate colds to hang on all winter. I wish you would go immediately to Dr. Grumsey ; he is a gentleman of intelligence and certainly has more experience in colds than you have: will you, as a personal favor to me, go and see himT ' If it gets no better in a week or so, yon must do one or two things, either go on a little trip out to Philadelphia or Virginia, where it is warmer, or else I shall come out to nurse you.

You will toll me exactly how it is next time yon write, won't you I shall feel very anxious it you are not frank with mo.

I find all my philosophy tried to the utmost to support the thought of so long an absence from ... . . . ion don't know now many lonely hours I spend, how much I worry about you and how much I regret that I ever was perverse or obstinate. It is impossible, perhaps, that two persons should never do each other wrong often. That is the bane of all love and affection tne impossibility of a perfect understanding, but there are always atonements as compensation, and there is nothing that can not become so well forgotten or so well forgiven that it is hardly remembered. Don't mistrust my affection; and believe love yon as dearly, a thousand, times more so than two years ago, and you will make me happy. Write me particularly exactly when you receive this; it is mail ed at quarter oi tour, Monday aitcrnoon. Write exactly respecting your cold, wont yon, or I shall lie very uneasy. xour lOVlDg wnc, abdi auuuuu ' ARRIVAL OF GENERAL JORDAN.

Nearly all the members of Congress are out of town to-day on excursions of various sorts. A large number have gone to Richmond, Norfolk and other points in Virginia. THE GEORGIA BILL. Gen. Butler writes that he will bo here early next week, when a mooting of the reconstruction committee will be held, to consider the Georgia bill. Butler will report it as early as possible. It is thought the committee win reject tne senate uui and report the original house bill as a substitute, with what is known as the Williams amendment. INTERNAL REVENUE TAXATION. The secretary of the treasury is of the opinion that the amount which the sen ate finance committee propose to reduce the internal revenue taxation is too great, and that, with the proposed reduction in the revenue from import duties falling off, will cripple the resources of the Gov ernment. The $30,000,000 reduction pro posed by the committee of ways and means, with 24,i"JU,uuu reduction ou tne tariff, is as much, Boutwell thinks, as his exchequer can stand at present, i be sen ate proposes to cut on the internal rev enue some $47,000,000. CIVIL SERVICE BILL. Mr. Jenckes calculates that he will get about fifty Totes in the house for his civil service bill. The vote against laying it on the table last Thursday was not a truo indication of its strength, as the members were prepared to let him have a fair show in debate beiore killing ms DHL it rill bo defeated by a large majority. ADJOURNMENT OF THE MEDICAL ASSO CIATION. The American Medical Association ad-ourned tine die last night- During the day the committee on ethics reported fa vorably on the credentials of delegates from the Women's Medical College and Women's Hospital, at Philadelphia. The report was indefinitely postponed, but notice was given of au amendment to the constitution not excluding women from the association. Resolutions look- in c to a discountenancing of the renewal of prescriptions by apothecaries without due authority from physicians, were referred to a special committee. A resolution declaring Dr. Horace Wells, of Mas sachusetts, the discoverer of anasthesis, was adopted. Dr. John O'Callinan, of Boston, offered a resolution that no distinction of race or color should exclude persons from claiming admission to the association, who are duly accredited thereto. The resolution was received with a storm of hisses throughout. Dr. Sands, of the committee on ethics, explained tho reasons for tho exclusion of the district of Columbia delegates, viz : That thoy were members of the National Medical Society, which society receives medical men who aro not licentiates, which specially violates the rules of the COLUMBUS, OHIO, association, misrepresents the action of the medical association of the district of Columbia, and is dishonorably endeavoring to procure the destruction thereof by inducing congress to abrogate its charter. SEDUCTION OF TAXES..' The senate committee ou finance have agreed to report a bill reducing the in ternal taxes somo forty-three millions of dollars. Fourteen millions are taken on from income tax duties. This is obtained by making the tax three instead ot five per cent. The present exemption is not increased. The taxes ou sales, gross receipts, succession and legacy duties, salaries of United States officers and passports are abolished; also licenses and all special taxes, except those on spirits and liquors. The revenue proposed to be raised is to be composed as follows: Distilled spirits, $50,000,000; fermented liquors, $6,000,000 ; tobacco, $30,000,000 ; stamps, $14,000,000 ; and income tax say $20,000,000. It is probable that this bill will pass tho senate, except the portion to continue the income tax. This reduction involves a surrender by the administration of the policy, ' announced by President Grant, in his annual message to congress, to keep up the present taxes, and this is so indicated by the fact that Secretary Bout-well was before the committee wheu the vote was taken. Washisotos, May 8, 1870. CONGRESSIONAL MATTERS. . . Many members of congress are despair ing of an adjournment before the first of August. I he appropriation bills are lar advanced, but the tariff is likly to consume several weeks more. About fifteen contested election cases are yet to be considered by the house, and there are other questions of a general character which will give rise to prolonged debate. CONVALESCENT. . General Fremont has been seriously ill for several days, but is now reported convalescent. PARAGUAY. Tho report of the eommitte on foreign affairs on Paraguay, makes thirty octavo pages, and the testimony three hundred more. Members of the committee say that it shows Lopez more cruel and bloodthirsty than any of the tyrants of Rome. CINCINNATI. Arrival mt Railroad Ma Specala tieaa aa to the Caase ef their Viait Raaaora f laapartaat Railraaa Chaagrs Aa Ex-Official Arrested The Rea StachiBga. Cincinnati, May 7, 1870. Jay Gould reached here yesterday. His arrival so soon after that of the New York Central party, bos created some anxiety concerning the cause of the visit. It is reported to-day that the representatives of the New York Central, were here endeavoring to make terms with the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton railroad, for more intimate business connections with the road on account of some disturbance of the relation of the Central with the Little Miami road. Rumor further say sthat Jay Gould is here to prevent any arrangement with the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton road, and that he threatens to build a road from Cincinnati to Dayton if his wishes are not gratified. Whether this is true or not there is doubtless something important in the wind. The impression is gaining ground that the three great roads will not always be content with two routes into Cincinnati. Col. Thomas R. Roberts, former inspect or of spirits under the revenue laws, was arrested to-day, charged with affixing fraudulent brands and using fraudulent certificates of whisky inspection, and conspiring with S. N. Fowler and others to defraud the government. The offenses are charged in 1867 and 1868, and the spirits involved ranging from 50,000 to 70,000 gallons, upon which the tax at that time was two dollars per gallon. The government seems to have been working up the case for some time, and is armed with considerable documentary evidence. Roberts was released on bail for hearing next week. Considerable preparation was made for a fitting reception to the Red Stockings at their grouuds to-day, on their return from the South, but the weather materially interfered. The club, however, played with a picked nine, resulting in the game fer the former 56 to 11. PHILADELPHIA. A Diaaatraaa Hail Steraa Ianaeaae Kise of the Haileteaes Creat I-atractioa af Frait. PuiLAUKLriliA, May 8, 1870. This afternoon the most destructive hail storm ever known here passed over the city, from northwest to southeast. For nearly thirty minutes there was a continuous fall of hailstones, from the size of peas to six and seven inches in circumference. The damage done greatly exceeds that of the great storm of Sep tember, 1868. The greatest force of the storm was along Broad street, and the southern section of the city. On the south side of Chestnut street, above Eighth, hardly a pane of glass is left. On Broad street many churches bad stained glass windows destroyed. The windows in the front of the Continental Hotel were destroyed. ' Reports from the suburbs state the al most total destruction of the fruit trees, which were just in blossom. At nine o clock to-night the bail still remains in piles iu the streets. CALIFORNIA. Late Advices by Nail Per Steaaier Idaho. San FaAMCisco, May 7, 1870.

The prefect of the police issued this morning the following proclamation : Rumors alarming for the public peace circulates in several ports of the eapttal, and disorders are predicted as sure to follow the counting of the vote, tho prefect of the police therefore deems it his duty to warn the citizens that the most efficacious measures have been taken to repress with energy and promptitude every attempt at sedition. The prefect invites all good citizens to keep away from places where criminal attempts may be made and thus aid those specially charged with ensuring respect for persons aud property. Paris, May 86 P. M. The voting on the plebiscilum is completed and counting has commeneod. Great military precautions were taken, and the city was quiet all day. Dispatches from the departments report all quiet. The somi-ollicial journals anticipate disturbances to-night or tomorrow, but nothing has occurred up to the present hoar to confirm these fears. All the election committees are assembled at their places of meeting, and will remain there all night to receive the returns from the provinces. The polls were opened in the barracks, and nearly all the soldiers in and around the city cast their votes, but no civilian was admitted to witness the voting. The police continue uuremitting in their search for the parties implicated in the alleged conspiracy, aud many arrests have been made to-day. M. Lissagay has been condemned to one year's imprisonment and a fine of 2000 francs for making violent speeches at political meetings.

At length, on a division, the amendment was rejected by j Ulty-nine majority. The clause was then adopted, and the committee arose, re- , ported progress, and the house at two ; o'clock adjourned. ; Dispatches just received state that tho defeat of the Imperial army at Haushi, in the north of China, is fully confirmed.

Averse Report af the Committee Her Destitute Conditiea Her Share of he liiaeola Estate Clathiag, Plate, aad Heasehald Oaada. Tho senate committee on pensions, to whom was referred the house bill granting a pension of $3000 per annum to Mary Lincoln, say in their report that, although by tho Constitution of tho United States the President, is madecommander-in-chief of tho army and navy, he is a civil and not a military officer. The death of President Lincoln occurred while ho was engaged in business of civil lifo. There was no principle on which pensions had hitherto been grauted in 1 this country which would warrant' the passing of this bill. No provision of this nature has ever been made for the widows ' of families of any one of the Presidents or other " civil officers ' of the United 8tates,-: although - many" I of them, like Mr. Lincoln, rendered most exalted service to the country ; and two of the Presidents died. while in oflice, and tho families of some ' of them ' were left in very slender pecuniary circumstances. There is nothing, so farr to distinguish this case from that of a great body of civil officers of tho - government who, of all grades, from the highest to the lowest of civil officers, from the earliest period; have lost their lives while in the performance of public duties, and have left behind them widows and orphans in bereavement, aggravated by poverty and want. It has not been deemed advisable iu a free country to provide permanent emoluments in favor of the families of high officers of the state as in European countries; as when eminent officers end their official term they become equal bnt not superior members of society. Tho committee are constrained to find . from the facts before them, that Mrs. Liu" coin is not, in fact, inthe destitute condi , tion which has been represented, and that her means must be reasonably sufficient to the just necessity of a citizen of the United States, either at home or abroad. A recapitulation of her assets shows that the balance of salary for her husband's unexpired year was $22,0 00, and that on the 13th of November, 1867, she recoived as her share of the personal estate of President Lincoln $36,675.60 (the sanio sum being also given to ' her minor sou Thomas), making her total cash assets $58,765.60, in addition to which there is some unproductive real estate of which the committee have taken no account. They have good reason to believe she also received no inconsiderable amount of clothing, plate, household goods, etc., after the death of Mr. Lincoln, which, in considering her pecuniary condition, should be added to the above-mentioned sum. Subscriptions were opened for Mrs. Lincoln, but the committee is not informed what amount has been realized. Mrs. Lincoln does not seem to urgo her claim entirely on the ground of actual want of comforts of life. In her petition, transmitted from Frankfort, praying for a pension, she states she has been advised to try the mineral waters during the summer and then to go to Italy ; "but my financial means do not permit me to take advantage of the urgent advice given rue, nor can I live in a style becoming the widow of the chief magistrate of a great nation, though I live us economically as I can." The committeo say that, from the standpoint of a European kingdom and European society, this is very probably correct ; but in a republican country, where these is no distinctions of rank, and where all duties are measured largely by the means of performance, the committee think a fortune of 60.000, or even one-third of that sum for a lady, must take her out of the category of those whose necessities, in consequence of the casualties of public service, givo them a claim upon the treasury. After other arguments the committee conclude by saying: "Under the circumstances of the case they do not think that either sentiment or duty requires a further provision in accordance with the request of Mrs. Lincoln, and therefore recommend that tho bill bo indefinitely postponed. The report is signed by Senators Edmunds, Tipton, Pratt, Spencer, Howell, aud MeCreery. JEFF DAVIS' CANE. la Captare and Recaptare, aad Itc- tnra to the tfwaer I rem ubio. The Ottawa (Putnam connty) Sentinel says the event of tho past week in that town was tho exhibition of a cane belonging to Jefferson Davis, which was " confiscated " during the war. Tho cane was presented to Mr. Davis by Franklm Pierce, 1856. It was made of oak taken from "old Ironsides," and heavily mounted with a massive gold head. On the mountings is the inscription : "General Davis from Franklin "Pierce, 1856," and bolow it on the side aro tho words, " Old Ironsides." Tho history of the cano :"b thus nai rated by tho Ottawa Sentinel: It was captured iu Georgia during the late war, and bronglit hero by an indi vidual who was in tlio louerai army, some time since. J. R. Linn, Esq., of Ottawa, ascertained incidentally that tho cane was in the hands of a minister of tho Gospel, residing in a neighboring county. Mr. Linn, regarding the cano as of being infinitely more valuable to Mr. Davis than to any other person, and feeling that it would only be doing to others as we would have others do unto us, wrote to Mr. Davis concerning tho matter, and as tho answer of Mr. Davis is the shortest and best acconut of its first capture, and at the same time expresses more lully tne feelings of the owner in regard to it than we can, we feel it no breach of courtesy to publish Mr. Davis' own language, winch is as louows : "MEJirHIS, TEXN., April 10. 1B70. J. E Linn, Esq., Attorney at Law, etc ' ; Dear Sir: Accept my thanks for your kind letter of the 11th inst. I had a o-nldheaded cane such as you describe, which with others was placed with my hooks in a country-house iu Hinds county, Miss. The man who had charge of them represented to me that U. S. troops came to his house, broke open tho boxes contain ing books, papers, the canes and other things, and took away part auu guaLwreu the rest about tlio ileitis aim woous mi-incent.The particular cano described by you was much valued by me as the gift of my dear friend, the Ereat and good Franklin Pierce. Its value to me has increased by tho death of the lEx-President and the loss of other mementoes of him, which were taken at the same tiino and in the same manner as stated in regard to the cane. You will greatly oblige me by obtaining the cane, as yon kindly propose, and sending it to me. Very respectfully yours, Jeffebsok Davis. Upon receiving this authority, Mr. Linn, au attorney, prepared tho necessary papers, to take the aforesaid cano by a writ of replevin and proceeded to the locality, between Toledo and Cleveland, where the property was said to be detained. Finding it in the hands of a former acquaintance, who was a rather well disposed minister, he was not compelled to resort to legal measures to obtain it, although such a course bad to be hinted at.

Butler writes that he will bo here early next week, when a mooting of the reconstruction committee will be held, to consider the Georgia bill. Butler will report it as early as possible. It is thought the committee win reject tne senate uui and report the original house bill as a substitute, with what is known as the Williams amendment. INTERNAL REVENUE TAXATION. The secretary of the treasury is of the opinion that the amount which the sen ate finance committee propose to reduce the internal revenue taxation is too great, and that, with the proposed reduction in the revenue from import duties falling off, will cripple the resources of the Gov ernment. The $30,000,000 reduction pro posed by the committee of ways and means, with 24,i"JU,uuu reduction ou tne tariff, is as much, Boutwell thinks, as his exchequer can stand at present, i be sen ate proposes to cut on the internal rev enue some $47,000,000.

ADJOURNMENT OF THE MEDICAL ASSO CIATION. The American Medical Association ad-ourned tine die last night- During the day the committee on ethics reported fa vorably on the credentials of delegates from the Women's Medical College and Women's Hospital, at Philadelphia. The report was indefinitely postponed, but notice was given of au amendment to the constitution not excluding women from the association. Resolutions look- in c to a discountenancing of the renewal of prescriptions by apothecaries without due authority from physicians, were referred to a special committee. A resolution declaring Dr. Horace Wells, of Mas sachusetts, the discoverer of anasthesis, was adopted. Dr. John O'Callinan, of Boston, offered a resolution that no distinction of race or color should exclude persons from claiming admission to the association, who are duly accredited thereto. The resolution was received with a storm of hisses throughout. Dr. Sands, of the committee on ethics, explained tho reasons for tho exclusion of the district of Columbia delegates, viz : That thoy were members of the National Medical Society, which society receives medical men who aro not licentiates, which specially violates the rules of the COLUMBUS, OHIO, association, misrepresents the action of the medical association of the district of Columbia, and is dishonorably endeavoring to procure the destruction thereof by inducing congress to abrogate its charter. SEDUCTION OF TAXES..' The senate committee ou finance have agreed to report a bill reducing the in ternal taxes somo forty-three millions of dollars. Fourteen millions are taken on from income tax duties. This is obtained by making the tax three instead ot five per cent. The present exemption is not increased. The taxes ou sales, gross receipts, succession and legacy duties, salaries of United States officers and passports are abolished; also licenses and all special taxes, except those on spirits and liquors. The revenue proposed to be raised is to be composed as follows: Distilled spirits, $50,000,000; fermented liquors, $6,000,000 ; tobacco, $30,000,000 ; stamps, $14,000,000 ; and income tax say $20,000,000. It is probable that this bill will pass tho senate, except the portion to continue the income tax. This reduction involves a surrender by the administration of the policy, ' announced by President Grant, in his annual message to congress, to keep up the present taxes, and this is so indicated by the fact that Secretary Bout-well was before the committee wheu the vote was taken. Washisotos, May 8, 1870. CONGRESSIONAL MATTERS. . . Many members of congress are despair ing of an adjournment before the first of August. I he appropriation bills are lar advanced, but the tariff is likly to consume several weeks more.

Jay Gould reached here yesterday. His arrival so soon after that of the New York Central party, bos created some anxiety concerning the cause of the visit. It is reported to-day that the representatives of the New York Central, were here endeavoring to make terms with the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton railroad, for more intimate business connections with the road on account of some disturbance of the relation of the Central with the Little Miami road. Rumor further say sthat Jay Gould is here to prevent any arrangement with the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton road, and that he threatens to build a road from Cincinnati to Dayton if his wishes are not gratified. Whether this is true or not there is doubtless something important in the wind. The impression is gaining ground that the three great roads will not always be content with two routes into Cincinnati. Col. Thomas R. Roberts, former inspect or of spirits under the revenue laws, was arrested to-day, charged with affixing fraudulent brands and using fraudulent certificates of whisky inspection, and conspiring with S. N. Fowler and others to defraud the government. The offenses are charged in 1867 and 1868, and the spirits involved ranging from 50,000 to 70,000 gallons, upon which the tax at that time was two dollars per gallon. The government seems to have been working up the case for some time, and is armed with considerable documentary evidence. Roberts was released on bail for hearing next week. Considerable preparation was made for a fitting reception to the Red Stockings at their grouuds to-day, on their return from the South, but the weather materially interfered. The club, however, played with a picked nine, resulting in the game fer the former 56 to 11. PHILADELPHIA. A Diaaatraaa Hail Steraa Ianaeaae Kise of the Haileteaes Creat I-atractioa af Frait.

For nearly thirty minutes there was a continuous fall of hailstones, from the size of peas to six and seven inches in circumference. The damage done greatly exceeds that of the great storm of Sep tember, 1868. The greatest force of the storm was along Broad street, and the southern section of the city. On the south side of Chestnut street, above Eighth, hardly a pane of glass is left. On Broad street many churches bad stained glass windows destroyed. The windows in the front of the Continental Hotel were destroyed. ' Reports from the suburbs state the al most total destruction of the fruit trees, which were just in blossom. At nine o clock to-night the bail still remains in piles iu the streets. CALIFORNIA. Late Advices by Nail Per Steaaier Idaho. San FaAMCisco, May 7, 1870.

Dispatches from the departments report all quiet. The somi-ollicial journals anticipate disturbances to-night or tomorrow, but nothing has occurred up to the present hoar to confirm these fears. All the election committees are assembled at their places of meeting, and will remain there all night to receive the returns from the provinces. The polls were opened in the barracks, and nearly all the soldiers in and around the city cast their votes, but no civilian was admitted to witness the voting. The police continue uuremitting in their search for the parties implicated in the alleged conspiracy, aud many arrests have been made to-day. M. Lissagay has been condemned to one year's imprisonment and a fine of 2000 francs for making violent speeches at political meetings.

Averse Report af the Committee Her Destitute Conditiea Her Share of he liiaeola Estate Clathiag, Plate, aad Heasehald Oaada. Tho senate committee on pensions, to whom was referred the house bill granting a pension of $3000 per annum to Mary Lincoln, say in their report that, although by tho Constitution of tho United States the President, is madecommander-in-chief of tho army and navy, he is a civil and not a military officer. The death of President Lincoln occurred while ho was engaged in business of civil lifo. There was no principle on which pensions had hitherto been grauted in 1 this country which would warrant' the passing of this bill. No provision of this nature has ever been made for the widows ' of families of any one of the Presidents or other " civil officers ' of the United 8tates,-: although - many" I of them, like Mr. Lincoln, rendered most exalted service to the country ; and two of the Presidents died. while in oflice, and tho families of some ' of them ' were left in very slender pecuniary circumstances. There is nothing, so farr to distinguish this case from that of a great body of civil officers of tho - government who, of all grades, from the highest to the lowest of civil officers, from the earliest period; have lost their lives while in the performance of public duties, and have left behind them widows and orphans in bereavement, aggravated by poverty and want. It has not been deemed advisable iu a free country to provide permanent emoluments in favor of the families of high officers of the state as in European countries; as when eminent officers end their official term they become equal bnt not superior members of society. Tho committee are constrained to find . from the facts before them, that Mrs. Liu" coin is not, in fact, inthe destitute condi , tion which has been represented, and that her means must be reasonably sufficient to the just necessity of a citizen of the United States, either at home or abroad. A recapitulation of her assets shows that the balance of salary for her husband's unexpired year was $22,0 00, and that on the 13th of November, 1867, she recoived as her share of the personal estate of President Lincoln $36,675.60 (the sanio sum being also given to ' her minor sou Thomas), making her total cash assets $58,765.60, in addition to which there is some unproductive real estate of which the committee have taken no account. They have good reason to believe she also received no inconsiderable amount of clothing, plate, household goods, etc., after the death of Mr. Lincoln, which, in considering her pecuniary condition, should be added to the above-mentioned sum. Subscriptions were opened for Mrs. Lincoln, but the committee is not informed what amount has been realized. Mrs. Lincoln does not seem to urgo her claim entirely on the ground of actual want of comforts of life. In her petition, transmitted from Frankfort, praying for a pension, she states she has been advised to try the mineral waters during the summer and then to go to Italy ; "but my financial means do not permit me to take advantage of the urgent advice given rue, nor can I live in a style becoming the widow of the chief magistrate of a great nation, though I live us economically as I can." The committeo say that, from the standpoint of a European kingdom and European society, this is very probably correct ; but in a republican country, where these is no distinctions of rank, and where all duties are measured largely by the means of performance, the committee think a fortune of 60.000, or even one-third of that sum for a lady, must take her out of the category of those whose necessities, in consequence of the casualties of public service, givo them a claim upon the treasury. After other arguments the committee conclude by saying: "Under the circumstances of the case they do not think that either sentiment or duty requires a further provision in accordance with the request of Mrs. Lincoln, and therefore recommend that tho bill bo indefinitely postponed.

Tho cane was presented to Mr. Davis by Franklm Pierce, 1856. It was made of oak taken from "old Ironsides," and heavily mounted with a massive gold head. On the mountings is the inscription : "General Davis from Franklin "Pierce, 1856," and bolow it on the side aro tho words, " Old Ironsides." Tho history of the cano :"b thus nai rated by tho Ottawa Sentinel: It was captured iu Georgia during the late war, and bronglit hero by an indi vidual who was in tlio louerai army, some time since. J. R. Linn, Esq., of Ottawa, ascertained incidentally that tho cane was in the hands of a minister of tho Gospel, residing in a neighboring county. Mr. Linn, regarding the cano as of being infinitely more valuable to Mr. Davis than to any other person, and feeling that it would only be doing to others as we would have others do unto us, wrote to Mr. Davis concerning tho matter, and as tho answer of Mr. Davis is the shortest and best acconut of its first capture, and at the same time expresses more lully tne feelings of the owner in regard to it than we can, we feel it no breach of courtesy to publish Mr. Davis' own language, winch is as louows : "MEJirHIS, TEXN., April 10. 1B70. J. E Linn, Esq., Attorney at Law, etc ' ; Dear Sir: Accept my thanks for your kind letter of the 11th inst. I had a o-nldheaded cane such as you describe, which with others was placed with my hooks in a country-house iu Hinds county, Miss. The man who had charge of them represented to me that U. S. troops came to his house, broke open tho boxes contain ing books, papers, the canes and other things, and took away part auu guaLwreu the rest about tlio ileitis aim woous mi-incent.The particular cano described by you was much valued by me as the gift of my dear friend, the Ereat and good Franklin Pierce. Its value to me has increased by tho death of the lEx-President and the loss of other mementoes of him, which were taken at the same tiino and in the same manner as stated in regard to the cane. You will greatly oblige me by obtaining the cane, as yon kindly propose, and sending it to me. Very respectfully yours, Jeffebsok Davis. Upon receiving this authority, Mr. Linn, au attorney, prepared tho necessary papers, to take the aforesaid cano by a writ of replevin and proceeded to the locality, between Toledo and Cleveland, where the property was said to be detained. Finding it in the hands of a former acquaintance, who was a rather well disposed minister, he was not compelled to resort to legal measures to obtain it, although such a course bad to be hinted at. The interview is said to have been in the highest dogroo interesting; the aforesaid minister claiming as author- RATES OF ADVETISINO ' " 1 DAILY STATESMAN.
